What is the most ethical course of action the reporter could take?
Answer
A
convince the editor-in-chief not to run the story, because the reporter knows that her uncle is a skilled pilot and believes that the allegations are false
B
tell the editor-in-chief about her relationship to the pilot, and ask that the story be assigned to another reporter
C
research and write the article, but have a colleague edit it before it is submitted to make sure there are no signs of bias
D
investigate the claims without revealing that the pilot is her uncle; the fact that he is a relative will not affect her reporting
